Somewhere in time 5 years - original writing

Somewhere in Time 5 years

Do you want to go to a happy year? I want to go in time, when I was 6 years. When I was P.1, I never did much homework and the weekday we can go to some interesting place. In the picture, my sister and I use the clay to make a cartoon. I like away playing and never do much homework, so that I want to during that period.

Picture Story (amended by Phyllis)


Once upon a time, there were some “super-magicians” living in the sky and in a tree house. We could not see them because they wore invisible coats, and we could only see their shoes. They could make people fly in the sky. The magic was a mystery. The magic was special and could amaze you. Some magicians played pranks on thieves. Some people said they were like policemen. Now the super-magicians lived on earth but we could not see them.

When the super-magicians lived in the magic world, they did not have money to buy anything. Alvin was one of them. When he was young, is family was poor and did not have much food to eat. So Alvin went to the magic school to learn some magic. When he was 12 years old, he used magic to make more gold so his family was not poor. They could have more food and were not hungry everyday. Now, he has built magic schools on earth and is living here. He is a famous magician. Everyone goes to his school to learn about magic. The magic world has disappeared.

Rewriting the Ending of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"


The Chocolate Factory was closed from 1950 to 2003. Willy Wonka put five golden tickets in 5 chocolate bars. If you had a golden ticket, you could go to thechocolate factory which had been closed for 53 years. Five children got the golden ticket. They were a computer boy, a fat boy, a competitive girl, Charlie, and me (a rich girl).
In the factory, the fat boy drank the chocolate milk in the chocolate river. Buthe was too fat, so he fell into the river. I wanted Charlie to lose the competition, so I told a monkey to catch Charlie. He wasthrown to the sweet mountain, but the competitive girl pushed me to the mountainas well. The computer boy and the competitive girl went onto the boat, and thecompetitive girl was thrown into the ice-cream pool. Finally, the computer boy won the competition and he got the factory. I was very angry and I never talked to my Dad.
